That's a terrible thing to say but what ever happened to what happens on the internet stays on the internet, when did the police start getting involved? Hurtful comments but not worth the waste of police time. I'm sure they have enough on their plate with the olympics, why are they chasing internet trolls? Can you not report users to twitter? because all this time wasting over some stupid kids thinking their screen can protect them, is just crazy.

Nah I don't have Twitter. Though I don't care what he said, it's all talk, nothing would happen to Tom.

It wasn't the tweets that disturbed me, it was the vulgar video that was posted to youtube showed him c and f bombing frequently and aiming ferocious abuse at Daly, just disturbing really.

Nothing happened to it because it was never a thing, sending death threats online (or telling them to kill themselves) is just as illegal as it is off-screen. Also it wasn't just about Tom Daley's dad, that's just how it started - it quickly escalated to him telling several people that he was going to hunt them down and murder them, which is a pretty serious offence Originally Posted by Yet

I agree that we should be able to say what we like, but within reason. Internet trolls shouldn't be free from punishment just because they're behind a screen. The only reason Riley says these things about people is because he thinks he's invincible and this shows that he isn't. Originally Posted by Zak

Glad this twit was made an example of, he's got away with it for long enough now. Don't think he'll be too harshly punished though.Last edited by Kyle; 31-07-2012 at 01:58 PM.

Bear in mind that nowhere in the OP does it mention that the man arrested was making death threats. A lot of people ITT made their comments while under the impression that the guy had been arrested only because of the tweet which is mentioned in the original post. This is no fault of the OP's though since it seems that some articles only mention that one tweet while others go on to talk about the 'drown' one as well. Originally Posted by Jellyfish
